[42] How to Paint a Pelican with Alcohol Inks

After visiting Florida, a friend sent me a photo of a pelican and asked if I could paint one with alcohol inks. This video demonstrates the techniques I used to paint what I'm calling, "Pelican Pete."
If you like bird art, I hope you'll give painting "Pelican Pete" a try with alcohol inks.
For this technique of painting Pelican Pete I used a variety of alcohol ink colors and tools (from brushes and cotton swabs to micro tip applicators and pens). Some of the tools and alcohol inks I recommend include:
Ranger inks Set of 15: amzn.to/3kokUvS
Ranger Inks Set of 3 (Laguna, Glacier, Monsoon): amzn.to/3paChmt
Jacquard Pinata Color - Alcohol Ink Set - Silver, Copper, Pearl, Brass - Rich Gold, & Blanco Blanco amzn.to/3lPFnKs
Isopropyl Alcohol amzn.to/43r6xHz
Winsor & Newton Masking Fluid: amzn.to/3saEL5B
Grafix DuraBright White amzn.to/48wXmYS
Nara Synthetic Paper 9” x 12”: amzn.to/3qROtZI
Nara Synthetic Paper 11” x 14” amzn.to/3IoYTFl
Gold posca pen amzn.to/3ZfVNuc
White posca pens amzn.to/3SrPmSG
Plastic Precision Tip Applicator Bottles: amzn.to/3XOTa1e
Disposable Micro Applicator Brushes for Makeup: amzn.to/3IrK19i
Fantastix Absorbent Coloring Tool (Brush Tip): amzn.to/3ZheyNY

Please make sure to work in a well ventilated area and/or wear a respirator mask. I seal my artwork with a couple of coats of Kamar varnish spray followed by two coats of UV resistant spray.
